Backyard Drama

Poor Bert.  I had to go into the office for a meeting this morning.  I was gone about 5 hours.  Poor guy flooded his crate.  He didn't have a very good day.  Wouldn't stop crying this afternoon.  I actually had a patient comment on the noise and ask me if I was beating my dog.  This evening, he has piddled on the floor 3 times in about 2 hours.  He is going to bed early tonight, cuz mom is tired. 

I was taking him out to potty for the umpteenth time and there was a strange man in my back yard.  I screamed, and almost immediately realized it was my ~13 year old neighbor kid.  He is getting really big.  I can't get over how much he has grown.  Luis climbed over the fence to retrieve a ball that they had hit over.  Anyway, I set Bertie down and he immediately high-tails it into the house.  Now I can't get him to go in the back yard.  Its gonna be a long night.
